Osteopaths are university trained practitioners with a particular interest in the musculoskeletal system (i.e muscles, bones and joints). We focus on addressing your pain and injury as well as helping you to optimise your health.

Osteopathy in Melbourne is a highly regarded solution to neck and back pain and as such is the one of the fastest growing medical professions in Australia. Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages (our youngest patient is 3 months and oldest is 90).

Our North Melbourne Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Myotherapists diagnose and treat the cause of pain rather than simply address the symptoms.
